Novice making birthday cake Funfetti

[itwasntmetho]

Hi
Has anyone made a great funfetti cake? What are the best sprinkles for this?
I wondered do I just chuck them into normal vanilla sponge?
Also any general tips for a basic vanilla buttercream cake would be great. TIA

I’ve made this a few times and is a good recipe. You need to use decent sprinkles though, the ones from the supermarket don’t work as the colour comes out. I’m pretty sure I got mine from Amazon. They were a long shape rather than round.

Try and find big sprinkles otherwise they dissolve in the batter. Learned that the hard way!

Thanks, I don't suppose you can recommend a sprinkle brand?

Oooh the cream cheese frosting is a good shout.

Google "bake stable Funfetti" and if you're also sprinkling any buttercream don't try and pipe it through a nozzle!

i think it’s one of my favourite cakes I’ve made for DCs multiple birthdays! The brand I got from Amazon is Twist multicoloured strands. They work well but 1kg!
